Scott Patterson. “I had seen a couple episodes [of ‘Gilmore Girls’] here and there, but I wasn’t a big TV person growing up,” Kohan told The Post from Halifax, Nova Scotia, where she’s currently filming Season 2 of “Sullivan’s Crossing” ahead of its Season 1 premiere Oct.

4 (8 p.m.)“So I’m kind of thankful for that,” she said. “I definitely knew about [Murray and Patterson’s] shows and who they were, but I didn’t have a deep knowledge of everything they had done.”“And I wasn’t fan-girling over them,” she said. “It was less intimidating than it could have been.”“Sullivan’s Crossing” is based on a series of books by Robyn Carr, who also authored the novels that form the basis for the Netflix hit “Virgin River.” The story follows Maggie (Kohan), a hotshot neurosurgeon in Boston.

After legal troubles turn her life upside down, she returns to her idyllic hometown in Nova Scotia — specifically to Sullivan’s Crossing, a campground run by her estranged father, Sully (Patterson).As she re-connects with her father and with old friends, she reevaluates her life, and also connects with mysterious newcomer Cal (Michael Murray, “One Tree Hill”), with whom she initially gets off on the wrong foot (she think he’s flirting with her). “The relationship with Cal is so much fun, because there’s so much tension built in there from the beginning,” Kohan said. “There’s clearly an attraction — they are magnetized to each other.

Whether that’s [as a] friendship or romantic or enemies…that was fun to discover with Chad.”“He is great, so sweet,” she said. “He’s such a grounded and kind person, and we get on really well.
